About the role
- Leverage AI tools to accelerate development velocity while maintaining code quality standards.
- Establish and document team standards for AI tool usage (prompt patterns, code review checklists, validation strategies).
- Measure and report on AI tool ROI through concrete metrics (PR velocity, bug rates, test coverage).
- Identify and prevent common AI-generated code pitfalls (over-abstraction, missing edge cases, security vulnerabilities).
- Architect, build, and maintain highly available and scalable platform infrastructure to support our engineering teams.
- Design and implement robust CI/CD pipelines, automation tools, and developer tooling to streamline deployments, improve code quality, and enhance team productivity.
- Enhance platform security, implementing best practices to ensure compliance and safeguard the integrity of our systems.
- Collaborate closely with software engineers, product teams, and quant analysts to understand requirements and proactively deliver solutions that accelerate product development and innovation.
- Drive continuous improvements to operational processes, platform reliability, documentation, monitoring, and alerting systems.
- Foster a culture of operational excellence, sharing knowledge, and promoting best practices across teams.
- Support and enhance system observability through effective monitoring, logging, tracing, and alerting strategies.
- Stay abreast of emerging technologies and industry trends, advocating for adoption of new tools and techniques that align with our platform strategy.
- Participate in an on-call rotation, ensuring platform stability and providing critical support for operational incidents.
- Occasionally travel for essential offsite meetings, special events, or collaborative team sessions.
